My Dad had IPF (scarring of lung tissue) which I believe can develop from pulmonary sarcoidosis. For my Dad it was frustrating to know what to do or who to ask about it. He was on Esbriet to slow the progression of IPF and it did work he got 10 more years instead of 3 years. But before he passed I had read metformin and low-dose nintedanib could reduce or reverse lung scarring. I'm not saying you'll get IPF from what I can read about it pulmonary sarcoidosis can reverse. But metformin/nintedanib info is good to be aware of. My Dad's doctor wouldn't even consider it.
I was debating whether to even write this comment. Like Dad it was a constant search for something new or some hope of a new drug next year. He had rheumatoid arthritis too it developed about the same time so maybe the bacteria and IPF were all connected.
